MD of our Australasia subsidiary, Martin Rampl, spoke to airport-technology about our ATM-grade network solution, resilient networks & networks as a service. In Australia our voice communication system (VCS) is currently part of the ongoing OneSky programme, providing a combined civilian & defence ATM system, set to be the most advanced in the world. Here Martin explains why ATM-grade networks are so important and how our understanding of even large airspaces, such as the Australian flight information regions, allows us to offer tailored managed service solutions to support specific demands.

In October Wolfgang Kampichler shared his views on emergency calling with Radio Resource International magazine. Here he highlights the need for improving access to emergency services for the deaf and hard of hearing and the need for systems to handle text messages and location-based call routing. Industry partners are now contributing to a new initiative - Deaf Emergency Calling 1-1-2 (DEC112).
